Today marks day one of waiting for the goats to kid. Cupcake is due first, and today is day 143. We have the baby monitor hooked up now, and it's pretty interesting having the barn sounds inside. When you're half asleep, you can come to some strange conclusions about what's going on. :) Early this morning I thought the chickens had gotten out and made their way to the house. Dan got up around that time to look for "the crazy toy we had that sounds like a rooster". I'm going to have to get a human kid to go to the barn and bleat like a doe in labor so I can tell where to set the volume. ;)
I think Cupcake will go a little while yet. I can still feel tail ligaments and her udder isn't very full yet. She's looking hollow though, so it shouldn't be too long.

Cupcake a few days ago. |
By the way Cupcake looks, it's hard to think there's only one kid in there. I'm thinking there must be two and they're getting pretty crowded!
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree! She's really uncomfortable. There could even be three in there. There's very little breathing room left!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Can't wait to see photos of the kids!
